Just a quick update this week since we weren't doing any
experiments, but included here for completeness.

RC car with GoPro

We mounted the GoPro to the top of John's RC car to see if we
could chase down the rocket as it was landing. Unfortunately the
grass was still quite tall and so the car had trouble getting
anywhere at speed. We mostly limited the movement to the paths
at the park. We managed to get a couple of shots though, but
we'll need to try again to get better results.

One thing that was tricky was knowing which direction to go when
the rocket was moving overhead. John had to keep one eye on the
rocket and one eye on the car so that he could steer it in the
right direction. All up we did 4 water rocket flights.

But first need to fill in the
log book

The boys also flew their pyro rockets in a drag race, which
was a first for them, Both rockets took of well and nearly at
the same time, Both were recovered safely down range.
